4. Garry's Mod Takes Video Game Physics To The Next Level
If you've never played Garry's Mod before, you're really missing out on a boatload of fun. Originally conceived as a mod for Half-Life 2, the sandbox physics game became popular enough to receive its own standalone release, and continues to be an enduring favourite for Half-Life fans. The game allows players to make full, largely unrestricted use of the Source engine's assets and physics, taking "props" and manipulating them in order to build complex contraptions and even create entirely new mini-games. And what else? As if that wasn't enough mayhem, it boasts a ridiculously entertaining multiplayer mode as well. Valve's Steam Workshop makes accessing other user creations as easy as possible, ensuring that this is one of the most addictive, inventive and insanely fun games ever made. How many other games of this kind can claim to have sold 6 million copies?
